On May 14th 2018 Israel will be celebrating its 70th anniversary as a reborn state. I believe something significant will happen during Israel’s 70th year that will be a game changer in the middle east and be a prophecy marker.<\/p>\n

One thing fairly significant to Israel and her enemies was just announced by President Trump. He said he will move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem on their May 14th 2018 anniversary. What may prove more significant is the response to that by Israel’s enemies. Will the 70th anniversary of the state of Israel bring another war or a peace deal? Perhaps it will be both.<\/p>\n

Iran has forces in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and is threatening Israel and the whole region. War with Hezbollah, Iran, Syria or all three seems to be on the immediate horizon. On the other hand, Sunni Arab nations like Saudi Arabia and Egypt say they want peace with Israel. Perhaps the prophecy about Elam will play out in Israel 70th year that will eliminate the Shiite Iranian threat?<\/p>\n

34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. 36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: 38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD. 39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The people of Elam are those living near the Persian Gulf in southwestern Iran.<\/p>\n

The map comes from Google maps it apparently was complied by “Prophecy In The News”. Notice that Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant is centered in the land of Elam. Also notice that Bill Salus wrote a book on Elam. He believes the prophecy will be fulfilled in our time.<\/p>\n

The prophecy about Elam indicates that people in this part of Iran will be defeated militarily and the people of Elam will be dispersed to all nations. Some think the prophecy of Elam was fulfilled in ancient times but any complete fulfillment never happened. Others believe the prophecy will be fulfilled during the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is the great tribulation. I do not see how every nation on earth could be taking in refugees during the great tribulation. Even current events suggest that the prophecy is likely to play out very soon.<\/p>\n

Iran has military in Iraq and Syria and it controls Hezbollah in Lebanon that has 100,000 missiles pointing at Israel. Something has to happen to eliminate that grave threat to Israel. Israel cannot be living securely like Ezekiel 38 and 39 says while this Iranian threat remains. It also is a little too early for the Gog war to play out so I do not see that war playing out in Israel’s 70th anniversary period.<\/p>\n

The Gog invasion is still years off because Russia is not ready to head a massive invasion of Israel. Turkey now has expansionist goals, but Israel could handle Turkey should it come to that. Turkey would first get in a war with Greece and would have to defeat the Kurds before becoming a major threat to Israel. Besides, the U.S. is standing in the way of any invasion of Israel. It seems that America must first be removed from the picture before Gog and his allies come against Israel.<\/p>\n

The most logical reason that this migration of Elam happens is that the area becomes so radioactive that the millions of people living in this area have to be evacuated. They become refugees and all nations agree to take some of them in.<\/p>\n

I think a logical fulfillment could come as the result of nuclear reactor meltdown at Buchehr Iran. The meltdown likely will come as the result of a military action or an earthquake. Chernobyl Ukraine and Fukushima Japan are examples of areas being depopulated because a nuclear reactor melted down.\u00a0The evacuation of Elam would involve millions of Iranians. Each nation in the world will agree to take in a portion of the refugees. The radioactivity in this area also helps explain why those east of Euphrates come against Israel from the north.

The prophecy indicates that Elam will be defeated militarily so that means\u00a0 Iran would be in no shape to relocate all these people to other parts of Iran. The nation probably would be in revolution as well. After this happens, Iran would no longer be an immediate threat to Israel. Nevertheless, if the meltdown was caused by military action that included Israel it certainly would give the Persians reason to join with Gog in the later Ezekiel 38 and 39 war.<\/p>\n

Temporary removing Shiite Iran and its proxies from the picture could allow for a regional treaty with Israel and the Sunni Arabs. That could be the reason that there is security in Israel before the Gog invasion.<\/p>\n

Israel might even take over more territory during this period. The expansion of Israel could be the significant prophetic marker in Israel’s 70th year.<\/p>\n

Any peace agreement in the next year or two would not be the confirming of the covenant for seven years by the Antichrist. However, it could be the start of the peace process that is later confirmed by the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

If we expect the tribulation to play out in the 2020’s and 2030’s, preliminary events will happen. A key preliminary event will probably take place in Israel’s 70th year even if it has nothing to do with anything that I just said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
